From the Internet:
In the US, our healthcare system is already collapsing. Countries have two options: either they fight it hard now, or they will suffer a massive epidemic. If they choose the epidemic, hundreds of thousands will die. In some countries, millions. And that might not even eliminate further waves of infections. If we fight hard now, we will curb the deaths. We will relieve our healthcare system. We will prepare better. We will learn. The world has never learned as fast about anything, ever. And we need it, because we know so little about this virus. All of this will achieve something critical for us, it will buy us time. We must not open too soon.
At home, if you got the music, you can dance the American Rumba easily by yourself. Of course, it is much better with a partner. Mostly, you just want to move the body more Rumba like. Don't try to move the hips. Learn to bend or straighten the legs and let the hips go as they wish. The music is slow enough so that the moves just naturally blend together. The rest of the upper body is just used for gestures and much does not have to be in time to the music. Then American basic was the box step by Arthur Murray, Slow, Quick, Quick, which is used to this day on Oahu.
Fred Astaire used it when he began his studios in 1947. Arthur Murray sued and he won. The judge did not know much about dancing. Fred Astaire than changed the same box basic to Quick, Quick, Slow and he got away with it and which is used to this very day on the mainland. On Oahu we use the Arthur Murray Basic. However on the Mainland they also use the alternate basic, which I use and the ladies are terrific and can follow it very easily. Basically it the same one used in the International Rumba, everything else is American.

There will come a day and we will dance again.

we can have hope, look up and see their beauty and believe in them."
